[trip style = any]
Sporty clothes are having a moment. Sneakers, ball caps, windbreakers, stylish sweats—items that were once activity dependent are now mainstream thanks to modern cuts and fabrics. This is great news for avid travelers on the hunt for stylish and comfortable pieces that go the extra mile...literally.
The fashion buzzword for the trend—"athleisure"—perfectly and ridiculously describes the intersection of athletic and leisure clothing. We want attractive workout wear that doubles in the program as perfect plane, train and automobile wear. We want items appropriate for cycling through Copenhagen while also popping into chic boutiques. We want to make 10 pieces stretch into 20 outfits when we're packing carry-on luggage.
Fashion and function haven't always agreed, but brands and retailers have started paying attention to the growing athleisure market. What started with Stella McCartney for Adidas and Heidi Klum for New Balance has grown to even include director David Lynch for Live The Process. Aritzia, Free People, Urban Outfitters, Loft, Lululemon Lab and Net-a-Porter have thrown their {moisture-wicking} hats into the ring.
We've rounded up the latest and greatest workout wear that will keep you looking good on a run and the runway.
